Jupiter, Venus, Mercury conjunction

Minto

Unfortunatlely my handheld shot moved slightly - but I saw the conjunction
only fleetingly tonight after sunset.
Jupiter is on the left, then Venus and then Mercury. The altitude of Mercury
was only 4.5 degrees according to Stellarium software. The cameras clock was
still set to daylight saving time.
